In pursuit of the 7,000 mile dream
After this summer’s Fourth Estate Leadership Summit, our Director of Idea Development is taking some time off to pursue a dream he’s had for years. In a recent contribution to GOOD, Jedidiah Jenkins explains his dream and his vision for pursuing it.

Educator Spotlight // Jacqui Sheehan
Jacqui Sheehan is a teacher at Perry Meridian High School in Indianapolis and attended our original Fourth Estate Summit in 2011.

Common Good Exchange // F*** Cancer
Little known fact about me: I am a cancer survivor. Diagnosed with kidney cancer at the age of 28, I completed treatment and have been in remission for three years. Tying it in a nice little one sentence bow doesn’t quite do my experience justice, but the point of this blog is not about me or […]

It’s been an awesome opportunity to not only […]

Common Good Exchange // Imagination Foundation
Born out of the phenomenal global response to the Caine’s Arcade short film, the Imagination Foundation was established to find, foster, and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in kids.

Success Story: how Kristen is reaching the Summit
Kristen applied for our Fourth Estate Summit and didn’t have enough money saved up to cover her costs. So she punched apathy in the face and took to Facebook, proceeding to raise the funds she needed within 24 hours. We love a go-getter almost as much as we love the generosity of family and friends.
